About this episode
In this episode, Gaelle talks about Nouvelle Calédonie, an archipelago in Oceania, far from mainland France and yet, politically connected to it - a remnant of 19th century colonisation. There, a precious metal is found in abundance: nickel. You will discover why this resource is both crucial and devastating, and what part it plays in the political unrest the island is going through since the 80’s.Check out Langua, a cutting-edge AI platform to help you become fluent in French: https://languatalk.com/ai-french-tutor?via=gaelleYou can find an interactive transcript for this episode on Langua, and you can see the vocab list here: https://languatalk.com/blog/podcast/french?via=frenchpodLooking to learn French fast with a tutor like Gaëlle?
